When it comes to Boston and New Year's Eve, there is plenty to do in the city and the surrounding area. In Beverly, in the North of Boston, you can check out the annual New Year’s Eve comedy event happening at the Hastings House. You will love the fun comedy of Jimmy Dunn, a native to the area. However, there are plenty of other things you can do in Boston as well.

In North Andover, the New Years Eve Extravaganza happening at the China Blossom location is another comedy event you will want to take in if you want a great meal to go along with it. The location is serving visitors an all you can eat buffet of Asian favorites.

Rockport is the place to be for many this holiday season. If that is the case for you, check out Rockport Eve. This will be the 15th year that the event is happening. You will see more than three dozen performers taking the stages throughout the downtown area. This family friendly event is the perfect way to start the holidays here.

For some music fun, check out the New  Year's Eve Bash happening at the Blue Ocean Music Hall. Show up with tickets at 9 for the 90 minute show. There is also a dinner buffet available.

What are your plans for the holiday? For those who are Boston natives, there is no doubt you know about the local traditions. This year, take in a show and make it something special. You will enjoy the experience that much more.
